And that's where George got the ring.
I had this planned back when I did the Granny Zoey arc and decided then to find a way to have George realize he needed to effectively propose and with Jack and Jules becoming a couple it gave me the opportunity since John and Lyn aren't getting engaged anytime soon.
Folks complained that Jack and Jules got engaged too quickly, but for the sake of the comic and where the stories that spin out of their engagement I decided their quick engagement was for the best.
